Because they aren't having sex, and want to feel like they're the norm rather than the exception. If 80% of men aren't having sex, it's a societal issue rather than something about them personally that makes them unsuccessful with women. And if it's a societal issue, that absolves them of personal responsibility to change and improve themselves to become a more attractive partner. They then found the OKC stats that vaguely confirms that (even though it didn't really), and latched onto it as "pro…

Women only got the vote in Switzerland in 1971. So 50 years ago. In one small region, women were only given the right to vote on regional matters in 1991. Black women were not given the vote in the US until 1965. Absolute madness.

Fiction books are such a good way of getting out if your own head and shifting your perspective. I often find I get stuck in a rut, and reading really helps give me a little change in focus. It's nice to think about someone else's issues rather than my own for once!

You go to groups, events for an interest you have. You'll meet people with similar interests and make friends with them. You then make friends with those people's friends and expand your social circle. You don't randomly walk up to women you've never met and ask them to be your friend. It's weird, and pretty transparent.

How are you going to bring up a common interest? You don't know anything about them. Let's face it - you're not actually cold approaching women for friendship. The ulterior motive is pretty obvious

Could you describe to me what a cold-approach seeking only friendship would look like? How would it differ to a romantic one?

It would be untrue to say looks don't matter. They do factor in to people's decisions when deciding who to date. The issue is, the various pills take this to the extreme (as they do with most things), and say that if you're not incredibly attractive you'll never find love. Which is demonstrably untrue. They then try to explain away the fact that plenty of "less attractive" men get married with the "beta bux" nonsense So what I'm trying to say is - yes, looks do factor into people's dating decisi…

I've had counselling at several points in my life. And it literally saved my life, so I can't agree with you there. Talking to someone who is a neutral party about the things I was struggling with helped me recognise my problems for what they were, and gave me the tools to deal with them. It's not a miracle cure - it's something you have to work at, but it's a great starting point. Have you tried counselling before? I've has some not great experiences with therapists I haven't gelled with, but f…

Because if you're insecure and hate yourself, it's much easier to blame someone else (women in general) than to do the work needed to improve and address your mental health. Hate is easier than introspection, and redpillers are very good at targeting vulnerable groups to spread their message.

I honestly think it's people with severe insecurity issues. Most red pill people I see on Reddit are so clearly full of self-loathing that they are pushing off into women to make themselves feel better. Narcissists, on the other hand, tend to be too self-absorbed to be insecure. Now, maybe some of the people shilling red-pill courses, books etc could be narcissists. They're just another type of cult leader preying on the vulnerable.

I find it quite telling that for the happy and neutral group, they only show headshots, whereas for the pride and shame groups, they almost entirely show the entire upper body. And the pride group has lots of men in sports gear and flexing muscles. That's enough for me to question the findings. Seems like all they've shown is that upper body pictures are more attractive than headshots. Poorly designed experiment.

Ok, so I have pretty good self esteem. Especially when I was younger and at university. And you know what? I never wanted or needed to manipulate men to give me things. I think I've been on, maybe 3 dates total where my date paid for dinner, and that's only because they paid while I was away from the table, and I'd always insist on paying for the next one. I'd much rather split the bill, frankly, because I can earn my own money and pay my own way. My time is worth more to methan the cost of a di…

I honestly feel life is too short to spend time with toxic people, or to allow them to vent their toxicity in my general direction. The older I get, the less willing I am to associate with people I don't respect and like. I used to try to talk to Incels in the way you describe - being kind, listening to them. And honestly it started to affect my mental health. I eventually realised its not my responsibility to help people who won't help themselves.

I'm a woman, and I can earn my own money thanks. I actually earn more than my husband at the moment, although we both fluctuate over time (supporting each other through masters degrees etc). I'd rather be poor than marry someone I didn't like and respect just for them to support me. I married my husband when we were penniless 22 year olds because he's the most wonderful, kind, emotionally supportive person I've ever met.

It's because they don't see women as real people. They see them as objects that hold a certain value depending on the way they look and whether or not they behave in a way they approve of. I also find it fascinating that they put all of the blame on single mothers when the father is the one who is absent. Because it's the women who are bad for staying and taking care of their child? How exactly is that a bad thing? And of course there's the usual puritanical "women shouldn't have sex ever. Unles…

I find it incredibly interesting when MGTOW and MRA talk about how "unfair" divorce is, and how "unfair" child support is when it's caused by the very system that they support. Men that follow these mentalities will often say they want a "traditional" wife to stay home with the kids, but are then surprised when, in the case of divorce, these women are entitled to financial support because they have been stay at home spouses and therefore don't have a paying job to support themselves. Or are surp…

Misogyny. Women are an easy scapegoat because hatred of women is so widespread. And it's easier to blame women for things rather than address your own shortcomings, which can be hard to do and difficult to work through. E.g. "women won't go on a date with me". Instead of thinking "what am I doing or not doing that makes people not see me as a potential partner", they say "women are just rejecting me because they're evil and cruel". It's much easier to just blame women because it absolves them of…

I think (many) women are attracted to confident men. And frankly, it's easy to be duped by someone who turns out to be an arsehole. They can be very good at pretending to be nice people to lure you in. Nice Guys™ are also arseholes, by the way, because they're usually pretending to be your friend in order to manipulate you into a relationship with them. So, women obviously aren't attracted to all arseholes, since Nice Guys are apparently not having any luck. There's also the jealousy thing. Nice…

Popular culture vastly understate the importance of Shared goals Shared values Long term relationships do not work when you want different things. Of course you can compromise on some things, but the big stuff is why people get divorced 10 years in. A big example being children.

I'm not at all surprised this is the defence his legal team is going for. It's the only possible approach really, given he was arrested at the scene. I sincerely doubt it will work though. I watched the full interview following his arrest, and he was absolutely (in my opinion) of sound mind. He knew exactly what he was doing, why he did it and what the likely consequences would be. Mild autism is not a literal "get out of jail free" card It makes me sad though - he had such a promising life ahea…

Women only love conditionally based on what you can provide for them. TRP seems to be stuck in the 1950s. I don't need someone to provide for me. I can provide for myself. I want someone who can contribute to building out lives together, who has the same goals and values. More than half of university students in many countries are women. Do you seriously think those women are just trying to find a husband? It's a very expensive and time-consuming way to do so if that's the case. Women want what …

Woman in my early 30s. I like geeky people who I can share my interests with (e.g. Pokémon, Star Trek, video games). Home bodies who don't mind staying in. People who are kind, and supportive. Someone who can look after themselves and share housework equally (I have no interest in being anyone's mummy or secretary). Basically someone who can be an equal partner in the relationship and someone I can build a life with.

I don't think there's a quick fix, but therapy is probably a great option if you can afford it. If not, I've found meditation really beneficial, maybe one focusing on positive thinking/affirmations?

My brother is finding this out the hard way - he's basically a lazy, irresponsible (albeit lovely and quite charismatic) guy who needs someone to take care of him. This was quite irresistible to women when he was in his early 20s. He's 30 now, and he's finding that he's less appealing to women in their 30s.

Red pill also says to not date or marry women over 30 unless you want to deal with [...] unrealistically high standards. As a (happily married) woman in her early 30s, I generally find that I do have higher standards than I used to. When I was younger, I was easier to manipulate. I let people treat me badly, because I didn't have the confidence or self worth to realise that I deserved better. As I've gotten older, I'm less willing to spend time with people who don't treat me well. I don't see th…

I always preferred to split the bill. Partly because it's fair, and partly because then there's no pressure or guilt.

Well, this is kinda true at face value, - you don't own her, and she doesn't own you. You've decided you want to be together, that's great. But would you choose never to date again if you broke up? Probably not, so what should she? I think the important thing to ask, is why is this concept of "ownership" important to you? Isn't it enough that you've both decided you like each other and want to be together?
/r/ExRedPill29/07/20 04:51 PM

As I mentioned in my PM, I deliberately pressured you on the definition to see how you'd respond to criticism. You responded in exactly the way I expected - by ignoring my input and then getting combative. Red flags all over the place.

I don't really have anything to add to this conversation - I've told you my thoughts already. It's up to you to listen to the advice or discount it. I think you'll do the latter (because of the aforementioned "rigid thinking"), but it's your choice.

Again, the literal definition of the word disagrees with you. The quote your saying means that "it's a good idea to live virtuously" rather than saying "the definition of the word wise is a person who lives virtuously". How old are you?

Yeah, approaching women in the street is hard to do and will have a very low success rate.

So, as an introvert, I'd like to point out that going out is not the only way to attract women. Joining a club for something you enjoy is a great way to meet people (and women), and the benefit is that you already have a shared mutual interest. Join a book club, cookery class, hiking club. Whatever floats your boat. Not everyone likes going out to bars, but the important takeaway is to get out and meet people, however you go about it.
